Solar outreach at the DDO

[Sunshine]

Canada’s claim to astronomical fame the David Dunlap Observatory (where black holes were first confirmed) is just 20 min from my home and has many days throughout the year where they do telescope tours and public observing events. On this day they called out to members of the RASC to volunteer solar scopes for outreach and can you guess who screamed “oh I’ll go!!” yes your very own Sunshine! cause I’m just a ray of sunshine!. 😂

Outreach where large numbers are present is hard, everyone asking questions, children tugging on diagonals for a look, long lines and on my part a shortage of saliva from constant talking under the sun left me parched. A good time was had and peoples minds were blown when they first saw promonances, I love it.
